TextEdit-Automate

Important Information: This is a Robocorp(open source RPA) project that works only on Macos.
Dependencies - Editor(TextEdit) app, Python, Robocorp, MacOS 🖥 💻
You don't need to install python separately as Robocorp does that for you during install.

What the code does

The code will open up https://www.nosweatshakespeare.com on your "Google Chrome" browser and navigate to a "Romeo and Juliet" play.
A transcript/summary of the "Romeo and Juliet" play will be extracted.
This transcript will then be saved on your desktop as a "TestXXXXX.rtf" using AppleScript & Python.

How the project is laid out

tasks.robot - Orchestrates the Python & robot script.
It calls a Python user defined library called TextEditScript.

libraries - A folder that contains 2 files; TE_AppleScript.scpt and TextEditScript.py
TextEditScript.py calls the scpt to perform some automations on TextEdit.

The automations on TextEdit will include writing line by line, saving the file to your desktop and also
reading out the text contained using the "Speech" functionality embedded in your 🖥 💻
Alternatively, you can use the "say command" if you prefer.

conda.yaml and robot.yaml - should be left as it is.

Changes that needs to be made so the code works for you

TextEditScript.py => Amend the scriptPath variable
TE_AppleScript.scpt => Amend the thisFilePath variable - put in the right path to your desktop
